Norwegian guys try ‘Webslinger’ on Rings

Back in the days of Originality Bonus, Canadian Tony Smith used a 1-legged Deltchev.

He called the hold position the Webslinger. A Spiderman reference.

Tony went on to be Men’s Head Coach at University of Calgary. And the Canadian National Team Head Coach.

Olympic Apparatus Finals 2

Rings

As expected, China dominated Rings as they have for many years now. France narrowly 4th.

1. Liu Yang, China, 15.300
2. Zou Jingyuan, China, 15.233
3. Eleftherios Petrounias, Greece, 15.100

4. Samir Aït Saïd, France, 15.000

Bars

The most anticipated WAG Final did not disappoint. Most agree that Kaylia was the deserving champion. I’d argue she’s the greatest Bars worker of all time.

1. Kaylia Nemour, Algeria, 15.700
2. Qiu Qiyuan, China, 15.500
3. Sunisa Lee, United States, 14.800

4. Nina Derwael, Belgium, 14.766
5. Alice D’Amato, Italy, 14.733

Vault

Everyone’s favourite gymnast, Carlos Yulo, won both Floor and Vault in Paris. He’s a past world champion on both — but the competition was fierce on both in Paris.

1. Carlos Yulo, Philippines, 15.116
2. Artur Davtyan, Armenia, 14.966
3. Harry Hepworth, Great Britain, 14.949
